A bishop is in charge of an area called a diocese. He cares for the spiritual needs of the faithful with the help of priests in parish churches. From the end of Roman government until the establishment of new states (as in Gaul in the 5th and 6th centuries, for example), bishops exercised the only effective government. This was due to the lack of any effective civil government.
